aaaahhhhh sometimes wifes suck in a bad way.. (not the good way) I picked up a new 09 yaris sedan in sept.... car is great a little unhappy with how bad it is in the wind, but nothing unmanagable.. was going to put swaybar on it, and if that didn't work springs... here's the deal, my wife hates the car and thinks it's unsafe b/c of the wind issues .. (we live in RI on the shore where it's windy everyday) she will not drive it and freaks out if I take my son in it. I bought it for the gas mileage since we do about 150 miles a day but she takes our suburban daily (ugggg gas is crazy) and I take our caravan.. the car sits 5-6 days of the week at least. I only use it to get to where I need to go somewhere without my son, so needless to say it has about 2600 miles on it which we put on basicly in the first 2 weeks... minus a few hundred miles... I'm debating about trading it in (but would be taking a hit) which I don't want to do... and now this toyota thing freaked her out more...... what is wrong with people.... ????? she took it for an extended test drive before buying and actually liked it...
Sorry just wanted to vent my frustrations but am seriously thinking of getting rid of it for another fuel efficient car maybe something AWD who knows at this point I'm just a little fed up with the entire situation and think it's crazy to be paying a loan on something thats sitting around not being used.....while still using a truck that gets 1/3 the gas milage of this car.
